Day 1

On arrival into St. John’s International Airport, make your way independently to your hotel. The remainder of the day is yours to explore at leisure. Wander into the charming downtown to Water and Duckworth Street. Why not stop at one of the local pubs for dinner along the way?

Today explore some of the sights that St. John’s has to offer. Take in views of the city and beyond from the famous Signal Hill and Cabot Tower, including the Queen's Battery and Barracks. Walk down the North Head Trail and back into the city. We suggest you stop for dinner at one of the great restaurants on Water Street.

Why not embark on the adventure of a lifetime today with some whale-watching? Get up close to one of nature’s most majestic creatures on the water. Later, enjoy dinner at a pub before exploring the pubs on George Street. If you have fallen in love with this maritime city, be sure to get screeched in at Christians to become an honorary Newfoundlander.

Adla has been just perfect. The holiday we have booked is a very special one in memory of my parents. Adla walked me through all the options with so much knowledge ,kindness and patience. I couldn’t have asked for better. Thankyou so much.

Well, what can I say, apart from thank you so much for arranging such a fantastic holiday for me and my friend. We had an unbelievably wonderful holiday. Everything organised and taken care of. The Rocky Mountaineer was a trip of a lifetime and being upgraded at each hotel was the icing on the cake. We saw quite a lot of wildlife, elk, a cow moose with calf, a black bear, beavers, bighorn sheep and bald eagles. Sophie arranged everything to our satisfaction, including the 2 day stopover in Victoria on Vancouver Island. The Laurel Point hotel was ideally situated and our room overlooked part of the inner harbour. As I said, the trip of a lifetime. Thank you so much Sophie for organising our wonderful holiday.

Everything went very smoothly, including the flights. I enjoyed the Cruise to Alaska very much. The Volendam was very nice as were the staff and food. The Rosedale Suites in Vancouver were very nice although the Restaurant was average. Some of the restaurants round about were take-away and I had to walk quite a bit to find a decent one but otherwise a good holiday which I would recommend to anyone.

Sophie King was very understanding on our specific requirements and changes were made on several occasions to accommodate us, nothing was to much trouble and was dealt with very effectively, these people know what they are doing when it comes to touring Canada.
